Tanya Avchinnikova
Tanya Avchinnikova is a pastel artist based in the UK, a member of The Pastel Society and Signature Artist of The Pastel Society of America. Tactile sensation, direct communication with pure pigment, freedom of applying it on surface straight away, are what Avchinnikova loves about pastel.
"There's something very intimate about it, very personal. No mediums in between, just you and pastels."
Avchinnikova paints seascapes and landscapes, focusing on closeups, as a reflection of her personal wish to be in those beautiful places.
"In my works I try to create the illusion of presense and deep unity with nature. I like to watch how the light travels on water , from wave to wave, how wind creates glare on the grass in a sunny day while moving it. I like to see the traces of 'invisible' things, catch them and paint them."
